My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

To apply or learn more about Isco, go to:

Indigo is a 4 yr neutered cattle dog whippet mix (best guess) in need of a special home! Adopted as a puppy through HFP back in 2020, Indigo is looking for a quiet, calm adult home as your one and only!

✅ no separation anxiety

✅ housetrained, crate trained

✅ wonderful base of basic training

✅ smart & trainable

✅ cutest submissive grin/wiggle butt when you come home

✅ moderate activity (relaxed inside but loves to fetch and play!)

✅ doing much better at car travel

He was adopted as a 4 month old puppy through HFP but sadly returned 3 years later -- he is currently in a Sacramento Foster home but is really in need of a home of his very own as his foster cannot keep him forever.

More about Isco: he has a great base of training and ready to impress you with all his cues, including: Sit, Wait/Stay, Bed, Crate, Down and Off.

He walks well on leash and doesn’t pull a ton.

He LOVES to sniff everything during his walkies aka Sniffaris ( but doesn’t stop to mark, only sniff).

He would do best in a quieter neighborhood as very busy places can make him nervous. Moderate energy -- he loves playing fetch in the backyard and a long daily walk would be ideal for Isco. In the home he is relaxed and independent.

He has lived with 2 small dogs in the past and may be able to make dog acquaintances with slow intros but does not have a ton of experience with other dogs at this time. He would do best as prince of the palace as a solo dog in the home.

Indigo previously lived with a cat who he loved to play with but can chase other cats, he may do well in a home with a well-matched cat friends; we ALWAYS recommend slow intros into the home/early separation for cats/dogs as they get to know one another.

Indigo has the CUTEST prance and loves to play fetch. He is treat motivated which makes continued training and intros to people much more of a breeze.

Housetrained, Crate Trained, around 55 lbs. Neutered, Vaccinated, Vetted, ready to be yours!

Indigo adoption donation is sponsored. You might be wondering what “sponsored” means. A dog is sponsored when their foster or a donor loves them so much that they cover the adoption donation for a future adopter. This in hopes that the pup finds his or her forever family ASAP! <3
